Delivering all of your communications needs

Strategic Communications
At the Hillbrooke Group, we work with you to establish objectives, identify target audiences, develop clear messages, implement best practices and deliver comprehensive communications strategies that produce impactful results. We use methods from the traditional school of communications complemented by new media tools to deliver positive outcomes. We have an established track record with offering sound and practical advice, and providing crisis communications support and reputation management services.

Media Relations
We have developed longstanding relationships with Canada’s print, broadcast and online media while continually building and expanding our influence in the social media arena. We understand how to frame your issue and how to effectively tell your story at the national, regional and local levels. We know how to connect with journalists, producers and editors and our proactive on-target campaigns always produce results.

Stakeholder Consultations and Outreach
Today’s communications require careful attention to building and maintaining relationships with partners, stakeholders and communities. We will help you to identify, engage and leverage your networks to ensure your mandate is understood, your role is clear and your message is heard. Our expertise ranges from participant selection to concept design, facilitation and analysis.

Employee and Change Communications
Whether it’s a new organizational strategy, policy or procedure, successfully introducing and facilitating change requires effective communications. Our approach includes: understanding the need for and planning for change, building awareness and empowering change, providing training and support materials to help facilitate change and monitoring change to make sure it is on track and successful.

Video Production
Video is an increasingly essential part of how organizations, governments and companies communicate with their stakeholders, with their employees and with the public. Effective videos make a powerful, positive impression and help to tell a story that is simple, concise and inspiring. From government to high technology, academia to health care, agri-science to non-profits, the Hillbrooke Group helps businesses and organizations tell their story in their own words through video. Having spent years interviewing Canada’s best known people for television, Senior Associate Catherine Clark works with a team of highly trained, veteran camera professionals, audio engineers and lighting specialists, to create video content that highlights the valuable work you do that sets your organization apart.

Professional Emceeing and Moderating
​As a professional emcee and moderator, senior associate Catherine Clark has hosted hundreds of events in Canada, the United States and Europe, in both English and French. She brings a sense of warmth, structure, humour and professionalism to any occasion, whether a public affairs forum in front of a live studio audience, a breakfast networking event hosted by a major corporation, a luncheon featuring the country’s top news makers, or a social gala benefitting local charities. Catherine keeps audiences engaged, seamlessly guiding proceedings through to a successful finish and helping to ensure that each event leaves a lasting, positive impression.
